Filipe Manana updated COUCHDB-757:
----------------------------------
Attachment: crypto_md5.patch
> crypto:md5 vs erlang:md5
> ------------------------
>
> Key: COUCHDB-757
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-757
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Environment: GNU/Linux
> Reporter: Filipe Manana
> Attachments: crypto_md5.patch
>
>
> Just noticed that crypto:md5 is faster than erlang:md5 by about an order of
> magnitude when hashing just 8Kb or 4Kb of data.
> Basically we use md5 hashing when writing and reading documents and
> attachments through couch_file and couch_stream.
> Eshell V5.8 (abort with ^G)
> 1> crypto:start().
> ok
> 2> Bin1 = crypto:rand_bytes(4 * 1024).

> I know there's a ticket around with the goal of the possibility to remove the
> dependency on the crypto module, but for environments where this is not a
> problem it would be a plus.
> Made a test that wrote 400 attachments with about 60Kbs and noticed an
> average response time of 0.16s versus 0.18s (erlang:md5).
